Consumer Advice

Bought a phone from Verizon for $79, pay $45 a month for unlimited phone text and data. The phone I bought is a Samsung J-3 and I can talk, text, use the internet, take pictures, record videos, play games, etc etc. I have been more than satisfied with the phone and the service. It is very reliable. Do not buy into the rhetoric that you can't find a decent phone unless you pay big bucks for it. My phone has a decent size screen which is 5 in. The only reason I think about a new phone is for a bigger screen size.

You might look into Straight Talk. My wife uses them, and have some decent cost-effective plans.
